Rome, 12th September, 2015 Greetings and Blessings!
I am writing to you concerning one of the greatest challenges that the believers of the world’s religions and all men and women of good will face today: being good stewards of God’s creation.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. If we stay on our current course, we can expect more devastating natural disasters, more shortages of food and water, more mass migration, and new threats to our health and security. These effects will hurt all 
of us — but especially the hungry, the sick, and the poor.
People of diverse faiths and goodwill understand that it is our collective responsibility to protect our world of abundance. As Christians, we recognize our individual duty to protect the precious gift of God’s creation. We must take common action to address the devastation of our earth.
Will you accept the moral obligation and join me today to help safeguard creation?
